Does the Michel Slide-in Replacement Radio MX385 replace RT385A?
Per the manufacturer the MX385 would replace the RT385 series which includes the RT385A.
Why is the Black face so much more in cost than the Tan?
The tan face is made to match certain Cessna panels which came with tan avionics units. There are no technical differences between the two units.
We are replacing the TKM MX 385 in our C152.
Is there a core charge or refund for returning ours?
In the notes on webpage it says that it does not come with an 8130, but the mfg website says that it is tso'd.
What kind if documentation does it come with?
Because the Michel MX385 is a slide in replacement no documentation is required or included. A log book entry is the only approval needed. There are no core charges or refunds available for this unit.
I have the RT385A in my 79 Cessna. Looking at replacing with your MX385. Is this something that requires a mechanic to replace, or is it truly a slide in replacement that I can do as the owner?
Thanks
The MX385 install must be signed off in a log book entry by an A&P mechanic.
